Description
GAS MONITORING DEVICE Field of the invention The present invention relates to an animal emission monitoring device for positioning on cattle. Background to the invention Methane is known to be a potent greenhouse gas, having a global warming potential that is considerably higher than that of carbon dioxide. Livestock are known to be a significant source of methane gas, which is released via exhalations and burping. With enormous variation of emission quantities between animals, it is important to measure and monitor the emissions of individual animals. The methane emission of livestock often has direct economic consequences for livestock producers, who may be subject to taxes based on their carbon footprint. Additionally, with cattle being key contributors to global warming, it is vital to measure and monitor methane emissions from livestock to understand emission behaviour and create emission inventories. Measurement of methane gas emissions from livestock is also important for pharmaceutical companies and developers of nutrition for livestock, as it provides an indication of animal digestive efficiency. Known methane measurement devices are bulky, high cost, require user operation and/or are not suitable for long-term use. For example, sensor-rigged rooms known as respiratory chambers are expensive to operate and require containment of the animal for a number of weeks. Further, sensing devices employed in feeding troughs only measure methane emissions during feed times, and as such provide a limited insight into daily emissions. Additionally, user-held laser detection devices are only appropriate for very short-run monitoring of emissions. Furthermore, optical gas imaging has shown that as close to 95% of methane emissions emitted from cattle comes from the nose and mouth, with the majority of these emissions exiting through the nostrils of the livestock. Known methane measurement devices fail to monitor cattle methane production directly from this greatest point of emission. Objects and aspects of the present invention seek to alleviate at least these problems with the prior art.
Claims (23)

An animal emission monitoring device for positioning on cattle, said animal emission monitoring device comprising: a snout member comprising a sensor unit for detecting the quantity of methane emissions; and positioning means for positioning the device on the head of an animal such that the snout member locates the sensor unit over the nostril of the animal.
2. A device according to claim 1, wherein said sensor unit comprises two sensors, each of said two sensors proximate each nostril of the animal.
3. A device according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said sensor unit of said snout member is 1-2cm from the nostril of the animal, in use.

15. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said snout member is substantially Y-shaped.
16. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the sensor unit comprises at least one pressure sensor.
17. A device according to claim 16, wherein the pressure sensor is a differential pressure sensor.
18. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the sensor unit comprises at least one flow rate sensor for measuring fluid flow rate.
19. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device comprises at least one temperature sensor.
20. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device comprises at least one inertia sensor.
21. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device comprises at least one location tracker.
22. A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the device comprises at least one filter.
23. A device according to claim 1, claim 2 or claim 3, wherein said sensor unit monitors at discrete intervals.
